Who is Tor de Vries?

I am an award-winning designer with significant, decades-long experience in print and digital design, as well as in communications, marketing, nonprofits, international health, higher education, and religious organizations. With substantial programming and IT experience, I am a unique blend of artistic, business, and technology disciplines.

I am presently the Web Producer & Art Director at EngenderHealth, a leading international women’s health organization with offices in nearly 20 countries. Before that, I worked in corporate marketing and design for Fortune 500 companies. I earned a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Design & Technology from Parsons School of Design, where I also taught undergraduate graphic design. This portfolio displays a selection from my years of work.

Content management systems (CMSs) such as Cascade and WordPress, including custom themes

Donor management systems such as Salsa and Luminate

USAID, UNFPA, PEPFAR, WHO, DHHS, and others like them

Concise writing for web, marketing, sales, and support

Social media, and antisocial media

Data visualization, infographics, and whatfographics

Thinking inside the box

Cutting up the box with scissors to make a fort

Elsewhere on the internet, I am And I’m the Dad: a “dad blogger” with 11,000+ Tumblr followers (all organic!) who has been profiled by Mashable, PR Newswire, and others, and who has contributed to The Good Men Project and Fatherly.
